Bump.. I thought mine was bitter the last time I got it. I wonder if I waited too long to eat it. I will be getting more in my produce basket from the coop this week, so thanks for the ideas!!!0

Fresh Kale is best...I love baby kale. I mix spinach, romaine and baby kale!0

In a smoothie or lasagna. Here is the recipe for lasagna. It always gets good reviews. http://www.vegetariantimes.com/recipe/kale-lasagna-diavolo/0

kale salad with mandarins oranges and dried cranberries. Kale chips are good too, but I love the salad.0

Massaged in a salad, chopped in a soup, baked as a chip and my most favorite of ALL time is this creamed kale. Absolutely phenomenal!

Had Kale last night cooked in tomato based pasta sauce with onion and mushroom served over whole wheat pasta :drinker:0

Another thing to do - get the baby kale, which is more tender (Earthbound Farms has it over by the pre made salads) and just stick a handful in any soups, or if you are like me and eat frozen lunches, just stick a handful into whatever you are having halfway through the microwaving and it get all wilty and adds flavor. I like it with the Kashi frozen lunches like Lemongrass Chicken.0

is it good steamed?0

Kale is the best (green) food to eat. Actually eating dark leafy greens is always good. My husband loves kale with shreaded cabbage. In the morning I sautee 1/3 cup vegan choizo (purchase at walmart real cheap) and some chopped, 1 tbsp red onions, add Kale chopped and then add 2 parts egg whites and 1 whole egg for a quick breakfast and 1 slice of wheat toast, or make into a breakfast burrito. Real good!
For dinner I sautee kale & fresh spinach with red or white onions splash of soy sauce or if you like use the vinagar from a jar of yellow hots, salt & pepper to taste. you could also add a couple of dice red bell pepper, slices of zuccini (green & yellow) and serve with a grilled chicken breast or lean meat.
OH also great in a tuna fish sandwich. Use Kale leaves instead of lettuce can't tell the difference. I could go on and on but this is a good starting point hopefully this will give you some ideas.
enjoy!0 -
3 fave ways:
1- add to my green smoothie
2- saute as several mentioned although I forgo the bacon ; )
3- salad: cut into strips, massage with a bit of olive oil, sea salt, lemon juice --- actually massage with your hands to break the cell walls down, becomes quite tender; add pine nuts, raisins or cranberries, chopped red pepper; devour. ; )
Forgo the bacon?!?!?!
i know... i know.... lol.... :laugh:
Hearsay I tell you! Hearsay!

My husband and I have had it steamed and raw in a smoothie.0

I LOVE LOVE LOVE kale. Always have, even as a kid. I had it almost every day when I was pregant. I've always had it lightly steamed, with a little salt/and or bacon. Works great with crumbled up turkey bacon since that's so salty anyway.0

I have eaten it baked in the oven, tossed with a little olive oil and seasoning, and also just raw in salad!0

A nifty tool:

Also:
I've had pretty good results with baby kale. I toss it with some bacon grease & massage it in pretty thoroughly & bake for 5-10 minutes. No extra seasoning needed. I leave the ribs on for a handle.
YUM!0 -
Quick stew: saute kale in a little olive oil then add 2 cans of low na diced tomatoes or fresh diced tomatoes, some garlic, red pepper flakes, and a can of drained and rinsed cannellini beans.0
-
I make baked kale chips and sprinkle a little bit of parmesan cheese on them a minute or two before I take them out of the oven. YUM!0
-
if in a salad, with feta or bleu cheese (or gargonzola (spelling?) ), dried cranberries, pine nuts
I agree !0 -
Kale chips are AMAZING!!! Just made some again today!!! remove large vein in the middle and mix with a little olive oil, sprinkle with salt, bake @250 for 30 min... I cook mine on a wire rack so you dont have to flip it.. try it!! You will love it!0

Sauteed with onions, bacon grease, a touch of brown sugar, apple cider vinegar and dijon mustard.
